Cholesterol Isn't So Bad

The panel charged with making recommendations that affect everything from school lunches to military meals appears poised to eliminate cholesterol from its list of “nutrients of concern,” a change that will send waves through nutrition policy circles and could create confusion for persons with diabetes and those who treat them. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) has spent more than a year discussing its 2015 recommendations to the secretaries of Health and Human Services and Agriculture, a process that occurs every 5 years.
